The Lincoln County Democrats will be holding their annual lobster bake Saturday, Aug. 13 to raise funds for upcoming county campaigns, and will be hearing from scheduled speakers Congresswoman Chellie Pingree and Maine Attorney General Janet Mills. Local candidates also will be present and will be commenting on their races for legislative seats in Augusta and for county-wide positions.

The event, always a highlight for county Democrats, will take place on the beautiful shores of the lower Damariscotta River in Walpole, on the property of Linda and Dirk Brunner. Generous lobster or hot dog dinners will be on offer, plus a raw oyster cash bar and music by Old Grey Goose, back by popular demand.

Caterer Jeff Hurd of The Narrows Tavern will be preparing the lobsters, mussels, and other traditional fare. The cost of the lobster dinner with mussels is $35, the hot dog dinner $10. All dinners include corn, potato salad or coleslaw, watermelon and drink. The music and offerings from the oyster bar begin at noon and the food line opens at 1 p.m.

The participants, the riverside location, and this year’s election challenges promise to make the 2016 lobster bake a memorable one, so don't miss it.

The exact location of the event is 331 Clark's Cove Road, just down the road from the Darling Marine Center. Take Route 129 south from Damariscotta, and an immediate right turn after the Wawenock golf course.
